Me & Loki

It took me a long time to like myself — and even longer to begin loving who I am. I’m still on the way, but one thing’s certain: I refuse to leave this world the way I entered it — unwanted.

I Wasn’t Born — I Survived My Way Into This World.
 
I was born to a 16-year-old girl who couldn’t love me — not because she was evil, but because I was never her choice. My conception wasn’t her will.
I had nothing to do with that, yet I paid for it.
 
My grandparents raised me. They did their best.
But when my grandmother — the woman who truly mothered me — died, something shattered inside me.
And I spiralled.
 
Drugs. HIV. Homelessness. Escorting.
Seven years of surviving, not living.
 
Until one day, I made my pain louder than my shame — and turned it into fuel to help others.
 
I grew up in Luxembourg, but never belonged.
Truth is, I’ve never really belonged anywhere.
I’m a gay man who didn’t want to be.
I didn’t dream of a “gay life”.
I dreamed of a wife, a child, seeing my eyes in theirs.
But growing up in the ’70s, that dream wasn’t available to boys like me.
 
So I left home at 16.
And I’ve been searching ever since.
I’ve lived in the U.S., England, France, Germany, Denmark, Poland, Switzerland…
I’m still searching.
 
You could call me a mongrel.
A man without a home. Without a nation.
And I’m fine with that.
 
I’ve been a millionaire — and lost it all.
In 2018, I found out I have two biological fathers — the result of chimerism.
One of them is royal.
The other? Pure white trash.
Hence the name: WhiteTrashRoyal.
 
I’ve spent decades dating versions of my mother.
Choosing rejection — because it felt familiar.
But at 52, I’m done with that.
I know now that I deserve love — real love.
And I’ll give it to myself if no one else can.
 
Today, I help others do the same.
Through coaching. Through writing. Through radical, unfiltered truth.
 
I speak four languages.
I’ve lived nine lives.
I’m wildly creative. Deeply organised. Painfully honest.
 
And here’s what I believe:
If you choose to have children — it becomes your duty to heal your own trauma.
So they don’t have to.
 
Because the work is yours. Not theirs.
 
I refuse to leave this world as unwanted as I entered it.
And I won’t let you either.

The Turning Point

Future Vision
 
To become a meaningful public voice — not for fame, but to bring real, unfiltered self-help to real people.
To awaken a deeper awareness around generational trauma, healing, identity, and what truly matters in life.
To turn lived pain into a movement — and help others reclaim their lives, just like I did.
